National Institute of Technology, Kagawa College (Kagawa KOSEN) was established in October 2009 through the merger of Takamatsu National College of Technology and Takuma Denpa National College of Technology. KOSEN consists of seven departments: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Electro-Mechanical Systems Engineering, Civil Engineering in Takamatsu campus, as well as Communication Network Engineering, Electronic Systems Engineering, and Information Engineering in Takuma campus. It has been consistently training engineers who support the industry boost of Japan's economic growth. KOSEN consists of a five-year integrated associate degree course after graduating from junior high school and a two-year advanced course, intending to develop practical, creative and internationally active professional engineers.

The five-year associate degree program combines general education and specialized engineering education promoting practical education that emphasizes experiments, practical training as well as classroom education. Our college maintains a high ratio of job openings that are not affected by economic trends, and students are also able to enter the college's advanced courses or transfer to various universities nationwide. This variety of options is one of the characteristics of our technical college. In the two-year advanced course after the associate degree program, students can further develop their research skills and international perspectives through advanced specialized education. Under this integrated seven-year education program, students can obtain a bachelor's degree which is the same as graduating from a university. After that, students can pursue graduate school.

We also emphasize global education by offering overseas internships and training programs in collaboration with international partner schools, as well as by welcoming students from abroad. These programs are designed to enhance cross-cultural understanding and communication skills, preparing participants to succeed on the international stage.

Today, society is undergoing a major transformation. IoT, where a lot of information and electronic devices are connected via the Internet, and AI with learning capabilities are rapidly changing the lives of people around the world. Without a doubt, it is engineers who are leading the way. At Kagawa KOSEN, after firmly establishing basic science subjects and specialized engineering education, we nurture the next generation of engineers who can identify issues on their own, conceptualize solutions, and create innovations through team discussions in problem-solving programs in collaboration with local companies and entrepreneurs.

The faculty and staff of Kagawa KOSEN will work together to improve the quality of education and research, reform education to respond to changes in society, and strengthen regional cooperation. We appreciate your understanding and support.
